One of the key purposes of education is to shape students as certain kinds of learners, people and citizens. However, the role of assessment in forming student identities has received less attention in research and practice.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation thus discusses the importance of understanding assessment from the viewpoint of student identities. The presentation revisits the traditional ideal of \u2018fair and objective assessment\u2019 that should be standardised for all students, regardless of their identities.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it discusses how assessment shapes students\u2019 identities, and what the consequences of these social mechanisms are. It is argued that assessment is one of the most powerful tools through which educational institutions shape students.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speaker:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dr Juuso Nieminen<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iatefl.org\/sites\/iatefl.org\/files\/civicrm\/persist\/contribute\/images\/TEASIG_Webinar_30042025_Juuso_Nieminen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"205\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr Juuso Nieminen is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Education, University of Hong Kong and a Banting Fellow at Ontario tech University, Canada.
